Farooq for united voice in Kashmir

SRINAGAR: Perhaps it was the largest gathering that National Conference (NC) mobilised in Srinagar in recent years. But it was marred by the confusion at the top level.

While Omar Abdullah wanted separatists to be "accounted for every drop of bloodshed over the years", Dr Farooq Abdullah wanted them to be unite "so that a united voice of Kashmir" emerges. Father-son duo were all fire against Mufti Sayeed's self-rule but missed to mention autonomy even for a reference's sake.

"Sher-e-Kashmir was offered the option of giving gun to the youth but he refused", thundered Omar Abdullah to a huge impressive crowd that was singing and dancing. "But those who did it while settling their own siblings at better positions will have to be accounted for every drop of blood that has been shed in Kashmir", he added without mentioning Geelani.

But Dr Abdullah advised the "gun introducing leaders" to unite and create a single strong voice well before they would be "purchased one by one". For God's sake, Dr Abdullah said, Geelani should think over it before he dies.

"He wants right of self-determination and tell him, come and join me; we will contest polls and then create a voice that will create panic in Islamabad and Delhi", Dr Abdullah said challenging the wisdom of people who are seeking his arrest.
